Viz puts Blood Lad episode 3 on Hulu about 30 minutes before it even aired in Japan, the TV airing in Japan is actually delayed by 90 minutes today.

I'm hoping they don't get a problem because of it.

Assuming that Viz wasn't advised of this delay, it shouldn't be an issue. 30 minutes before air time isn't really enough for it to have any impact on the airing in Japan.

Previous leaks have been days before an episode aired in Japan (Oreimo at ANN, One Piece at Funimation). Even in the one case where the schedule was known and the episode was posted rather than leaked (To Love Ru Darkness at TAN), it was many hours before the episode aired in Japan, and it was the premiere episode.

OTOH, if Viz had been informed of the delay, but somehow that information was ignored, then yes, there could be an issue, although it might be so minor we would never see any effects from it.

They've put up the summer lineup overview, so if there were negotiations ongoing, its become clear that they are a matter of weeks rather than days. Once I've rescued my files from my broken netbook, I'll finalize the regional distribution results.

SHIT!
so, I just found out that the studio that does the anime C³ Cube×Cursed×Curious & Shakugan no Shana Final, studio: Silver Link, also does WataMote! >< I'm going to have to start watching this along with Day Break Illusion because the studio: AIC did Date●A●Live >< BAH!

Are you sure about Silver Link and C³ ? Silver Link also did Kokoro Connect and the same VA, Miyuji Sawashiro, did Inaba as does Sonora and there is a real visual resemblance as well... hnnnng! But I thought GAINAX did C³ , not Silver Link.

Sorry, I thought you meant the 'current' C3 show since this is the summer anime thread though you were comparing to older shows so I should have known... Command x Control x Communication this time instead of Cube x Cursed x Curious LOL
